Dark Blade

The Dark Blade is a Skulkin weapon found in some 2011 Ninjago sets. It is a cutlass-like sword with a large blade and a wide handguard. The blade is chipped in several places, giving the weapon an sinister, unkempt look.

The Dark Blade is said to have a rudimentary sentience that enables it to seek out points on its foes where it can do the most damage possible. This quality makes it a feared weapon, and it is said to be manufactured with the Skulkin in mind as its wielders.

Additionally, silver and golden versions of the Dark Blade exist, said to be even more powerful and deadly than the basic weapon.

Ninjago.com Description

Not your typical sword, the Dark Blade actually looks for trouble. It pokes and prods life with its jagged point trying to do as much damage as it can. It’s a weapon of great fear, and it was created especially for the Skeleton Army.

Trivia

Although the official Ninjago website shows a dark metal version, no Dark Blades exist in that color.

Its overall appearance appears to be a foil to the thin, straight katanas favored by the Ninja.
